Exponential-backoff retries for the auto-mode classifier exist but the remote-config retry count defaults to 0.

What

Auto mode's model-choosing request can now be retried when it fails as unavailable, with exponential backoff starting at 2 seconds, capped at 10 seconds, plus 25% jitter. The retry count comes from remote config, is clamped to 0 through 10, and defaults to 0, so with no server value set the loop never runs and behaviour is unchanged.

Evidence

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
